Weightloss - The science experiment





Figuring out what works and what doesn't for weightloss is like playing with your chemistry set.  What works for one person may not work for another and things that worked months ago, may not be the same now...Its alot of trial and error.  Also sometimes it's just weird.


So I have flavor cravings...It's rare I want food,  its usually I want salt or sugar or tart.  Once the craving has been satisfied I'm ok, usually I'm ok for a while.

Add to this I'm a creature of habit and I have the same flavors every morning.  Breakfast is an egg white omelet with chopped broccoli, onion and cheddar cheese.....and 2 sausages...I know its alot of sodium, probably bad for me, but it hasn't broken anything and when I don't have it..I notice....Take note of that last point.

So I go to get breakfast ...I left my wallet at home.  I ended up ordering from  a diner via paypal and no sausage....I eat..but for an hour I just feel like something is missing. I'm sure this is just a weird creature of habit thing, but its irking me.  I ended up ordering corn beef hash and eating it....I was great, but it bothers me I NEEDED to taste the salt.   Blah

I also ordered a bagel with cream cheese and lox.  I ate half the bagel...I realized part of my cravings or hunger in the early afternoon was due to not eating enough. If I had had my normal breakfast I would have gotten toast. I'm curious if I'll see a bump tomorrow.The other side of that is I think I'm a little too attached to the scale so I may not get on again till Monday to see what kind of damage has been wrought over the holiday weekend.

Also as of right now I really want some sushi..on a want scale of 1-10 I'm at about a 4.  We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Quick Recap

Well I am ashamed it has been this long since I posted. I got down to 306 after much not eating and too much exercising, but after the trip to Jamaica I haven't gotten back in the groove of things. I think alot of that has to do with issues with the Ex. Those may not be settled, but i am not as emotionally invested as I won't was. With IE I was able to stay at 320 or under. I am 312 now, and focused once again. I am not nearly as strict as I was, which might also explain why I haven't gotten under 300. Anyway....Thats where I am at now. Will try and write more later.

Finding Joy in the Little Changes

So it's taken me 2 months to lose 4 lbs.  I know people are are gonna ready that and be like dude you suck. There are a couple of things to note: When  I started 2 months ago I was 359 and then the week after I went up to 363. I checked my spreadsheet and I haven't been 355 or lower in 4 years.  I've been struggling in the 360s for YEARS !!!!!! I've been in the 350s for a couple of weeks with a mostly steady decline I'm not struggling with eating, and working out is doable. In terms of non scale victories.  I can eat salad. It isn't the end of the world and honestly when I'm out and about it takes the weight of having to figure out what to eat. I don't feel the need to eat EVERYTHING on my plate. I don't eat what I don't want.  ( We will ignore the cream puff I had yesterday) I have more energy.  I don't come home and veg doing nothing until bed time.  I mean I do it sometimes, but if I need to do something I am more lik...

Up 3 lbs.

Well I just couldn't what to weigh myself and I am up 3 lbs. Normally I would be devastated, but Everything 3fc has taught says 1. I should probably weight myself in the morning. 2. It is not the end of the world. I also have to admit i overate yesterday, and I had a big meal Saturday . So the plans is to stick to what I am supposed to do and weigh again Saturday morning. The guy I am seeing will be up Saturday morning, and it is Super bowl weekend, so eating is not going to be the greatest this weekend. Everything else is ok. Added Later I just realized I got cocky. I assumed since I had had all this great weight loss I could eat whatever. I have not been eating intuitively. So I am glad I did the weighin and will try and do better.
